“…Willingness to participate includes constructs that have been labeled as client-rated desire for therapy, client-rated perceived importance of therapy, client-rated perceived time spent on important matters, and client rated commitment (Adelman, Kaser-Boyd, & Taylor, 1984). This domain appears to overlap with the cognitive connection component of the therapeutic alliance and has often been included as part of therapeutic alliance measures.…”

“…Furthermore, it seems reasonable to expect that clients who are willing to participate in treatment would be most likely to adhere to (participate in) treatment and be less likely to drop out of treatment. This construct was first examined in the youth mental health treatment literature in the 80's in a school-based study (e.g., Adelman et al, 1984) but then was not investigated for over a decade. Again, it may be that the construct has been subsumed within general therapeutic alliance measures.…”

“…Considerably more research is needed in this area as parents most likely play an important role in the delivery of treatment to youths and may impact youth responsiveness to treatment . Adelman et al (1984) were the first to explore empirically client participation in the child mental health treatment literature. However, it was studied even earlier in the adult treatment literature (Bellak & Smith, 1956;Kirtner & Carwright, 1958;Strupp, Chassan, & Ewing, 1966).…”

“…However, it was studied even earlier in the adult treatment literature (Bellak & Smith, 1956;Kirtner & Carwright, 1958;Strupp, Chassan, & Ewing, 1966). Client participation includes constructs that have been labeled as client effort, collaboration, client involvement in therapy, cooperation, treatment engagement, on-task behavior, and homework completion (Adelman et al, 1984;Braswell et al, 1985;Clarke et al, 1992;Gorin, 1993;Green, 1996;Johnson, 2000;Sarlin, 1992;Tolan, Hanish, McKay, & Dickey, 2002). These studies have explored client participation with a wide variety of clients across numerous treatment settings such as school-based clinics, outpatient mental health clinics, and home-based treatment.…”

Recently there has been an increasing emphasis in the youth and family mental health treatment literature on the use of empirically supported treatments (ESTs). In contrast there has been scant attention paid to more universal aspects of the therapy process that may have even greater impact upon therapy outcomes. It is likely that the success of the techniques proposed by ESTs may depend on the presence of common process factors. In this article, the authors explore the status of common process factors research in the youth and family therapy literature, and propose a theoretical model linking specific therapeutic relationship variables and treatment outcomes for children and adolescents. This model is intended to guide synthesis of the empirical evidence for common process factors in youth and family treatment and to stimulate future research on common process factors.

“…This experience of an internal locus of control has been directly linked to competence, motivation, enhanced productivity, and adaptive psychological functioning (Masten, 1986;Reich & Zautra, 1990;Coster and Jaffe, 1991;Janelle, 1992). It is argued that children who participate in the decision making process will show increased commitment and responsibility towards the decision, will possess greater understanding of the issues related to the decision, and will achieve better follow-through with the decision (Brehm & Brehm,1981;Adelman, Kaser-Boyd & Taylor, 1984;Coster and Jaffe, 1991). Several authors suggest that the participation of children in opinion sharing and decision making is essential for developing the ability to make good decisions (Jensen & Kingston, 1986;Taylor & Adelman, 1986;Baron, Granato, Spranca & Teubal, 1993).…”

This study uses a structured vignette procedure to assess competency to make treatment decisions in two groups of adolescents, one at risk for institutional placement and the other a matched community sample. Scores on Factual Understanding (the ability to recall facts), Inferential Understanding (the ability to make inferences about those facts), and Reasoning (the ability to weigh risks and benefits of various treatment options and to make choices based on that reasoning) were compared. Results showed that while at-risk adolescents and their community counterparts did not differ in their factual and inferential understanding abilities, the at-risk adolescents did significantly less well than the community adolescents in reasoning. This difference couM not be fully explained by differences in verbal 1Q. Girls, no matter what their risk status, scored higher than boys on the Reasoning scale. Implications for legal policies concerning adolescents are discussed.How much adolescents should be involved in decision making about mental health treatment is a controversial policy question, Historically, parents or the state have been entrusted to see that adolescents received care when it was in their best interest (Parham v. J.R., 1979;Melton, 1984). Recently, however, many have questioned this general framework (e.g., Melton, 1989). A call to expand adolescents' autonomy under the law has arisen, especially regarding their rights to make decisions about their own medical care (Interdivisional Committee on Adolescent Abortion, 1987; Gittler, Quigley-Rick, & Saks, 1990).The empirical support for this position rests primarily on a set of studies that compared how adolescents and adults make decisions about hypothetical treatment situations. These studies have generally demonstrated no difference in the outcomes chosen and the logic used by adults and adolescents above the age of 14 (e.g.,
